From oss-securit@lists.openwall.com:
HTTP/2 trailer out-of-bounds read
=================================
Project curl Security Advisory, January 24th 2018 -
[Permalink](https://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_2018-824a.html)
VULNERABILITY
-------------
libcurl contains an out bounds read in code handling HTTP/2 trailers.
It was [reported](https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2231) that reading an
HTTP/2 trailer could mess up future trailers since the stored size was one
byte less than required.
The problem is that the code that creates HTTP/1-like headers from the HTTP/2
trailer data once appended a string like `":"` to the target buffer, while
this was recently changed to `": "` (a space was added after the colon) but
the associated math wasn't updated correspondingly.
When accessed, the data is read out of bounds and causes either a crash or
that the (too large) data gets passed to the libcurl callback. This might lead
to a denial-of-service situation or an information disclosure if someone has a
service that echoes back or uses the trailers for something.
We are not aware of any exploit of this flaw.
INFO
----
This bug was introduced in commit
[0761a51ee0551ad9e5](https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/0761a51ee0551ad9e5),
